The theology of making a fast buck— it’s pure unadulterated delusion.

Friend, I was watching an old black and white classic called, “The Sweet Smell Of Success.” In it, one of the characters challenged the slimy, smarmy PR agent by saying that he was nothing but a parishioner of the theology of making a fast buck. It got me thinking about all the purveyors of delusional optimism who teach a religion of “get rich” overnight. It reminds me of preparation instructions for instant oatmeal: “just add water.” I retreated from selling things online for years, opting instead to freely gift much of my best resources away. I was sickened by all the opportunistic online rapscallions who purveyed their near-certain panaceas promising they could transform any inexperienced and unskilled “wanna-be” gazillionaire into just THAT— painlessly, rapidly, and almost certainly. Little effort, investment, or risk required! Not true. Over the years, I’ve watched far too many effusively optimistic aspirants go into debt expecting their near-certain waterfall of rapidly forthcoming riches to pay back the monies they’d so daringly speculated many, many, many times over - and at breakneck speed. I certainly couldn’t stop the past economic carnage these opportunists wielded. But more heartbreaking to me was that the soon broken-spirited aspirant was prejudiced forever against believing in themselves and trusting any worthy champion of their future. Time has passed. Usurious marketers have mastered more and more stimulators to win over the wants and wallets of the trusting. But I admire and respect those admirable few who chose the road less traveled— the high road! The ones with integrity, honesty, and a high ethical moral compass. These rare breeds tell the truth— not that their methods can’t work, but that they’ll only work if you meaningfully work them. They don’t promise overnight fame and fortune; instead - realistically teach you how to gain prosperity - slowly, patiently, methodically, and assiduously. I laud the truthful ones, the honorable ones, the ones who tell it like it is and help realistic-minded business beginners successfully go the distance. Separating the wheat from the chaff, the ones transferring meaningful knowledge vs the barkers and vendors of hyperbolic gullibility— that’s what I hope you have developed the ability to discern. In case you were expecting me to turn this email brilliantly into a pitch for someone’s supposedly one and only credible offer— I’m not. I am not endorsing anyone here today. Not using contrast to make someone sound great—who’s not. I’m merely venting and vexing – observationally - about my hope and belief that people ARE capable of knowing the truth from the consequences. Good people are out there transferring wonderful knowledge, that’s hard won and totally objectively / realistically / truthfully presented. Those are the ones YOU, and those you care about should favor. All the others — deserve to be rejected and denied access to your trust and belief. Choose wisely and you’ll fare magnificently in your life and throughout the process. Choose impulsively or superficially - and you’ll live to regret it many times over. Sorry for the rant. But if it shifted your basis for judging others - I’m thrilled! Jay [Unsubscribe]( The Abraham Group 24050 Madison St., #214 Torrance, California 90505 United States
